What the Missouri Pacific is Doing to
Relieve the Distress.

Relieve the Distress.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-The Geographic re-
ports from Kansas indicate that the set
tiers in theWestern and Southwestern por-
tions of that State are subjected to intense
suffering, owing to the lack of fuel, which
can not be obtained because of insult
ficient supply and lack of equipment
of the Atchison, Topeka 6 Santa Fe and
of output in the coal mines. An official of
the Missouri Pacific, speaking of the re-
ports day, said: 1.-THE unusually severe
storm in that section of Kansas was a sur
prise, and had undoubtedly caught the
people unprepared for it. The suffering.
however, is confined to the extreme
Southwestern portion of the State, which
is supplied entirely by the Atchison. The
Missouri Pacific has several branches
which run as far west at Iuka, and form
a network of lines with connections in the
Southern and Southeastern part. We
put between 400 and 800 carloads of
coal in our territory, and we have
beard no complaints We get it from
Southwest Missouri and Indian Territory.
Still if we were called upon to supply an
other hundred carloads we could not do
it because neither the output nor equip
ment coul d furnish it."

CORONERS' QUEER WAYS.
HOW DEATHS ARE INVESTIGATED
IN. NEW YORK.

Peculiar Cases in the History of the
Coroners' Ofice-Angie Belmont's
Suicide-How a Vanderbiit's Death
May be Source of Revenue-Care-
lessness and Crime Concealed.
New YORK, Aug. 27.-Just at sunset one
day not long ago loud explosion in a shaft
of the new aqueduct, near Inwood, broke
with deadly force upon the still air. In
mediately following came the shrieks of men
in agony, followed by means, and then all
was quiet
Workmen at other points came running
to the shaft with blanched faces and waited
in suspense while the huge bucket slowly
assembled from the dark hole in the ground.
Soon it came into view. The men in the
shaft had been fortunate this time. Only
two of the ten men working in the darkness
had been hurt by the premature explosion.
They were terribly burned and their chances
of recovery were slight.
The accident was so ordinary an occur
renee that only few of the workmen re-
manned to assist in removing the wounded
men to the fat cars on the Hudson River
Railroad. A surgeon who was called did
what he could to alleviate the sufferings of
the poor wretches and then they were put
on stretchers on the cars. In this manner
they were transferred to New York like any
other freight.

The doctor made close examination of
the body and became convinced that the
man had been murdered. The injuries he
had received were undoubtedly caused by
blows, and could not have resulted from
fall. The hotel people insisted that he must
have fallen down stairs while drunk and
then have wandered into the stable The
doctor saw that this would have been
physical impossibility. He inquired among
the guests and servants and soon learned
enough of the truth to enable him to
explain the crime and to know how it
had been committed. This was what he
learned:
While in the saloon on the corner, McDade
met a woman with whom he drank several
times. She accompanied him to the hotel
While there she was recognized by former
paramour, who set upon McDade. The lat
ter fought savagely, but the other man was
Joined by friends who overpowered Nc
Dade They lifted him bodily and endeav-
ored to throw him over the balustrade. He
caught hold of it and chung to it for dear
life. Then they pounded him on the face
and head and beat and bruised his knuckles
until he was forced to let so. He dropped
down one flight into the hall below. His
assassins went down and examined his body
Satisfied that he was done for and would
never be able to give an account of his in
iuries, they carried the body over to the
Stable and deposited it there
The doctor wrote a letter to the CQroner's
Office stating what he had learned and re-
questing that he be summoned as a witness
for the people at the inquest Several days
later he was notified to appear. He did so.
Upon being called to the witness stand he
started to testify as to how he had found the
body and what had been the result of his
Investigations.
Here, sirm interrupted the Coroner,

Again the Coroner interfered. He had,

Nugent didn't do It, Perhaps he was de-
ceive9t perhaps he wasn't. Any way, the
records give young Belmont's memory the
penetit of the mistake.
When William H. Vanderbilt died Coroner
Messerner made the examination and gave
the official permit. His action made him
extremely unpopular with his confreres, be-
cause he had not at the time been on duty
and had taken upon himself the task that,
by agreement among the four Coroners be-
longed to Coroner Kennedy. The feeling
against him was intensely bitter, and but
Tor the prominence of the dead mans
family it would very probably have resulted
III wrangle for the possession of the body.
Ii was then common talk among the
politicians and newspaper men, who know
that the Coroner who got there first had
been well paid for not making himself too
officious
Mr.. Vanderbilt died suddenly while con-
versing with President Garrett, of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad That made it
necessary to call in the Coroner so as to OBJ
tain burial permit, Had the Coroner in
sisted upon holding an inquest then it would
have been almost impossible to pre-
vent it.
1t can easily be seen that wealthy peo-
Pile would pay well under such circum-
stances to escape the grievous officiousness
OF the law. Would Vanderbilt pay Sl0,-
600 to prevent the holding of an autopsy or
inquest upon the body of member of the
family. was a question much discussed
about City Hall and the Coroners' Office at
that time.
Late one night several years ago prom
lnent physician was called to the Anthony
House, now the Broadway Hotel, at S31
Broadway. The hotel did not then possess
very savory reputation and was frequent
ed by many people of questionable character.
The physician found a man lying uncon-
scious on cot in a barely furnished room on
the third floor. The early morning light
that was struggling to dispel the gloom dis
played a horrible sight The man was
partly dressed and in the dim light the
doctor could see that he had been no stranger
to dissipation. His features were con-
tracted and frown rested upon his brow.
The skull was fractured and there were
marks of blows upon his head and face. The
knuckles of both hands were raw and
bloody, the skin having been rubbed or
beaten off. twas evident that crime had
been committed.
The man was already in his death throes
and beyond the power of saying who had
quiries the doctor was told that the man
was John McDade. He had registered at
the hotel two days before. He had been
seen that night in the saloon on the south
east corner of Broadway and Thirteenth
street-a notorious place. An hour or two
later his body was found by a fireman in
the stable adjoining the engine house, at
Thirteenth street, near Fourth avenue. The
distance from the hotel or the saloon to the
stable was very short and the body could
easily have been carried there.

AMERICAN PIANOS.
1.-THE United States Leads the World
in the Art Of Manufac-
turing Pianos"

The piano, after more than a century and
a half after its invention, has become the
leading instrument Of music throughout
Christendom. There are at least fifty
thousand men employed in their manufac+
ture, and as many as hundred thousand
are made every year. An average piano
requires one hundred and twenty days of
labor to complete it-a slow and tiresoma
process for the work of one mans hands,
but in Germany they are still SO mades
Although the United States now turns oud
many thousand pianos q year, fifty-fve
years ago scarcely fifty were made, annuallyd
Almost every household now regards a
piano as essential to happiness; for we have
long since passed the age Of simplicity Of
our forefathers, and the age of luxury haA
fairly set inland we rejoice that it is SO.
What wide field is open for the manun
facturer, and what inducements to carry
improvements of the piano to the highest
state of perfection. The variableness of our.
climate renders il of the first Importance
that our pianos should be made in the most
thorough and substantial manner, and wd
certainly can claim that our AmericdM
y,ianos are the best IN the worLd.-Mstsical
World
The question of the superiority Of Ameri4
can pianos over those of foreign make u
indisputably settled and needs no discussiond
while in prices the odds are likewise largely
in our favor. n
For demonstration calP and examine the
